Vickie's journey to success started at age eight when she discovered her first Feminine Force: fire. She was so passionate about teaching her imaginary class that her dad often had to break it up so she would play with real friends.

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in nursing and a master's degree in education, Vickie worked as a registered nurse for six years. She loved nursing but her enterprising spirit took over. In 1982, with only $100 dollars in her bank account, she started a legal nurse consulting company. According to The New York Times, she "crossed nursing with the law and created a new profession."

While she built her business during the day, she earned her law degree at night. Eager to share her success with others, this innovative entrepreneur used her business experience and her passion for teaching to create a nationally recognized educational institute. The founder and CEO of Vickie Milazzo Institute, Vickie pioneered legal nurse consulting and is the authoritative educator in this field.

Vickie built a national professional association of approximately 6,000 members. She is recognized as a trusted mentor and dynamic role model by tens of thousands of women, a distinction that led to her national recognition as the Stevie Awards' Mentor of the Year.

Vickie is also the recipient of NurseWeek's Nursing Excellence Award for Advancing the Profession and her company was recently recognized as the Most Innovative Small Business by Pitney Bowes's Priority magazine. Her company continues to be recognized by the Houston Business Journal as a Top 100 Small Business and a Top 25 Woman-Owned Business. Vickie has been interviewed on radio and TV as an entrepreneur expert.

Author, educator and nationally recognized speaker, this multimillionaire entrepreneur shares her vast experience and the experience of thousands of women. Vickie coaches and mentors you to take charge of your personal and professional destiny.
